Isn't that cricket?

In my language, which is urhobo,we call it "orere".

And yes, people do eat it,but I haven't and I didn't have the privilege to do that,as a kid..

We call it kriketi in Swahili.

Some things that are food to some societies are not necessarily a discovery based on ingenuity but on situational conditions.

Though I saw childhood friends eating it back then in my neighborhood but I never tried it because I get easily irritated.....There was a day one of my friends removed the legs and started eating it raw.

I ran home and started vomiting. ......Tega you nor well.

This is a rich source of protein and it’s very delicious when deep fried! We used to hunt it as kids, and it’s usually available in the rainy season, especially July and August. If you start cricket farming in Naija, you will make a killing.

It is called Oseen in Edo language.
